    I'm not really sure whether to go 64bit or 32bit when Windows 7 comes out.

    The only reason for going 32bit would be convenience, as I have all my drivers already working (camera, audio, memory card reader,... everything) in Win7 32bit RC and I could just save them and use them when I get my hands on the RTM version.

    I'm wondering if those of you running 64bit have run into any driver problems? Will Windows be able to find all of the drivers or will I have to go look for them myself? Would they all be on the Acer site if I do have to look for them myself?

    They are available on Acer's website - since the 6920G did have 64-bit versions sold, drivers for all components exist.
    Still, it wouldn't hurt to burn your Drivers & Applications disc using Acer eRecovery just in case.
    (and your Nvidia driver should come from Nvidia.com themselves - FAR more up-to-date)

    I've never run into a driver issue since I made the 64-bit transition, including when I upgraded from Vista to Win7 RC.
